About this study

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of inclusion of 50% sprouted wheat wholemeal in a bread recipe on the postprandial glycemic and satiety responses, as well as on appetite-related sensations and acceptability of the developed products relative to a product made with a similar unsprouted wheat recipe.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized crossover trial involving three different bread products. At each study visit, capillary blood glucose will be measured at fasting, and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes following the start of ingestion of the study food. Visual analogue scales will be used to assess appetite and fullness sensations at fasting, and then 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bread in people with Blood Sugar, run by University of Guelph at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postprandial glycemic response (time frame: 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2023.
